The Distortion Essentials Bundle for UAD-2 and Apollo interfaces offers expertly modeled vintage overdrive, distortion, and fuzz effects. This collection features authentic emulations of three iconic distortion pedals that have shaped the sound of legendary guitarists. Each plugin captures the unique character and tonal nuances of the original stompboxes, delivering a wide range of expressive tones suitable for guitars, synths, drums, and vocals.

Included in this bundle are faithful recreations of the Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff 'triangle' version, and Pro Co Rat distortion pedal. The TS Overdrive plugin replicates the dynamic, midrange-rich crunch that made the Tube Screamer a favorite among players like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Johnson. The Bermuda Triangle fuzz delivers the aggressive sustain and distinctive attitude of the classic Big Muff used by artists such as Pink Floyd and the White Stripes. Raw Distortion captures the versatile gain and gritty texture of the Pro Co Rat, a staple in guitar rigs since the late 1970s.

Universal Audio’s Unison technology ensures these plugins provide the authentic tone, touch, and feel of the original pedals by accurately modeling circuit interaction and gain response. When used with Apollo audio interfaces, this technology allows musicians to experience the same input impedance and dynamic response as the physical stompboxes, resulting in a natural and inspiring playing experience. Whether tracking or mixing, this bundle delivers classic distortion sounds with precision and character.
